Substitution

Another change for Albion. O'Riley on for Veltman. Baleba and Minteh are in as the full-backs.
75'

WASTEFUL FROM BETO

That's a golden opportunity for the visitors to kill this game as Gueye wins the ball off Baleba and Beto is able to gather and run at the Albion goal. He has support to the right of him but goes it alone and strikes wide from the left of the box. Good for Albion, poor from the striker.

Substitution

Double Albion change. Hinshelwood and Minteh come on for Ayari and Lamptey.

Yellow Card

The Everton keeper goes into the book for timewasting.
69'

TERRIFIC EFFORT, JUST WIDE

Georginio swivels on the edge of the box and hits a half volley marginally wide of the top left corner. Absolutely wonderful technique.
58'

JOAO PEDRO VOLLEY PUT BEHIIND

Georginio's cross is flicked back into the middle by Mitoma and Joao Pedro looks like he's going to smash it in, but a defender throws his body in the way! The resulting corner is cleared to the edge of the area and Baleba thumps it back towards goal, but O'Brien gets his head in the way! A good spell for Albion.
56'

DECENT LAMPTEY CROSS CUT OUT

That's a decent ball in from the right from Lamptey with Welbeck and Georginio looking to attack it, but it's flicked away by Branthwaite for a corner.
50'

MITOMA CURLS WIDE

Albion have the bit between their teeth at the start of this second half and everything positive is coming down the left. Mitoma cuts across the edge of the area and whips the ball looking for the bottom right corner, but it's just the wrong side of the post. Pickford was at full stretch.
47'

VELTMAN BLASTS OVER

Veltman and Lamptey have swapped sides for this second half. The ball falls for the Dutchman on the edge of the box and to be honest he couldn't have missed by much more as he slices it horribly wide in front of the North Stand.
46'

Substitution

Georginio comes on for Gruda. Everton get the second half underway.

Yellow Card

Ndiaye is booked for his celebration as he mimics a Seagull in front of the Albion fans.

Goal

Everton take the lead as Ndiaye squeezes his penalty into the bottom left corner. Verbruggen is so close to getting there.
39'

VAR

Joel Veltman and Beto both challenge for the ball and as Veltman falls in the box, his arm touches the ball. The referee doesn't initially see it, but the Everton players appeal. Referee Tim Robinson is sent to the screen, where he decides to give a penalty. The replay is shown on the big screen and it's met by boos from the Albion fans. Veltman is pushed as he goes to ground.

Joel Veltman has done a good job marking Iliman Ndiaye so far.
29'

FREE-KICK PUNCHED AWAY

Yasin Ayari is teed up by Gruda to whip the ball at goal from the free-kick Lamptey won, but Pickford punches it away.
27'

JOAO PEDRO STRIKE BLOCKED

The game has been in a bit of a lull for the last ten minutes or so. It wakes up though as Joao Pedro has a shot blocked from the edge of the box, before Lamptey's cross hits the first man. The Ghanaian is then fouled on the edge of the Everton box, down the left. Let's see if Albion can utilise this.
13'

CHANGE FOR EVERTON

A blow for the Toffees as Calvert-Lewin goes off with what looks like a hamstring injury and is replaced by Beto.
10'

JOAO PEDRO HEADS OVER

Lamptey has been a livewire for Albion in these early phases. He finds the head of Joao Pedro with a cross from the left, but the forward gets under it and sends it over the crossbar by quite a few yards.
8'

WELL READ BY DUNK

Branthwaite floats a ball over the top of the Albion defence looking for Calvert-Lewin and it's well-weighted, but Dunk gets there ahead of the Everton striker to nod it back to Verbruggen. Good defending. Probably a sign of what the defender is going to be facing a lot of today.
4'

GREAT CROSS FROM LAMPTEY

Dunk finds the run of Lamptey down the left and the defender flicks it around O'Brien before firing a ball across the face of goal, but nobody can get on the end of it!

UNDERWAY AT THE AMEX

Here we go then. An opportunity to win three consecutive Premier League games for the first time this season.
